Elizabeth Parthenos

Backstory

I am Elizabeth Jade Parthenos. Sorted into Slytherin after a long hatstall when the sorting hat was trying to decide which of the 4 houses I would fit in the best. I enjoyed the Care of Magical Creatures, Herbology, Frog Choir, and Charms class. I didn't like Muggle Studies. I was very good at Defense Against The Dark Arts but ended up not enjoying it because the professor was almost always incompetent. I still don't understand why blood status is so important to the British wizarding community and I really don't care but both my parents were wizards. I really haven't been affected by my blood status because it didn't matter at Ilvermourney and when I transferred to Hogwarts in third year due to my transfiguring my best friend's bullies into goldfish and leaving them in the fountain I didn't really care about it at all. I was still at Hogwarts when Voldemort rose to power once again, it was scary, sure but I had to help save and protect my friends. So my boyfriend at the time and I sabotaged Voldemort's forces as much as possible and I ended up fighting alongside my friends at the Battle of Hogwarts. My greatest strength would have to be my loyalty to those I care about and my intuition. My greatest weakness is my crippling depression and anxiety. After the Battle of Hogwarts, I graduated Hogwarts and followed my dream to become a magizoologist. For a few years, I was extremely happy, traveling the world and saving magical creatures with my fiance and then we got married but then he was killed by dark wizards and I couldn't save him. I fell into a depression, I went home to my family in Louisiana for a few years when I got a letter from Headmistress McGonnagal offering me a job as a Care of Magical Creatures professor and to direct the Frog Choir. I am still working little by little to get over the loss of my husband and will return to being a Magizoologist someday and maybe I'll fall in love again. I feel the most fascinating aspect of magic is how little limitation there is on the possibilities of what it can do. I have always been someone who uses my abilities to help others as much as I can but sometimes I use it for myself. I guess what I really want is to be loved and accepted for who I am and to not feel as if I'm worthless anymore and to gain the confidence to truly and unapologetically be myself. I have two cats named Nyx and Hemera, three dogs named Cane, Sadie, and Bentley and I work with and raise many magical creatures. Nyx is mischievous and likes to disappear and cause me to worry about her. Hemera is very chill and likes to take naps in the sun. Cane is a chocolate lab and is very smart and very sweet, he loves to play fetch and do tricks and he'll curl up at your feet to spend time with you. Sadie is a Great Dane and is a huge scaredy-cat for such a big dog, though she's very affectionate when she's not hiding, she loves to sit outside and sunbathe and she will get in your face when she wants attention. Bentley is the smallest and youngest of my dogs. He's a pugapoo (pug and poodle mix) and looks like a living teddy bear or an Ewok. He is always either really hyper and playful or really chill, sleepy and cuddly. Usually, he's in a cuddly mood. I'm descended from Merlin and the Native American wizards who used wandless magic on my mother's side of the family we don't know very much about my dad's side of the family. I have two sisters, my younger twin sister, Esperetta- Retta for short- who went into the wand-making business. She is the gay twin, I am the pansexual twin. My youngest sister, Nichole, who we call Nikki is studying to be a healer though she used to want to play Quidditch professionally. The only oddity in my family is me with my heterochromatic eyes and my extremely rare ability to speak to animals, both magical and non-magical.
